Our Story

Bullpup Music Booster is a volunteer‑operated 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting the Martinez Junior High School music program. The organization raises funds, coordinates community support, and ensures that every student—regardless of financial means—has access to a high‑quality music education. MJHS is a Title I school, meaning many families cannot afford to rent or purchase instruments, afford enrichment field trip fees, and support their students' education beyond what the school district provides. The MJHS music program has grown dramatically—from 36 students to 260 students in just five years. 

At the heart of Bullpup Music Booster, Inc. is a deep appreciation for the connection between music and learning. Music is more than an art form—it strengthens academic performance, particularly in math. The patterns, rhythms, and structures in music mirror mathematical concepts, helping students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By fostering music education, we are shaping well-rounded students who excel in various subjects, build confidence and discipline, develop teamwork and creativity skills, and become more engaged members of their community. 

Bullpup Music Booster, Inc. is more than a nonprofit—it is a movement fueled by parents, educators, businesses, and community members who recognize the irreplaceable value of music education. Join us as we continue to champion the arts, one note at a time. 🎶
